Speaking of gifts and services...

Gift of prophesying (prophets) - sensitive in the spirit
Gift of serving - see the needs and willing to fulfill them
Gift of teaching (teachers) - interpret God's word in practical ways
Gift of encouraging (evangelists) - help others to stand up firm
Gift of giving - have the means to give and willing to do so
Gift of leadership (apostles) - communicate God's vision and able to coordinate
Gift of showing mercy (pastors) - have the compassion for people

What gift(s) do I have? I am willing to serve in the background. I can understand things quickly and be able to make something out of it. I consider myself organised, though I'm usually doing this as I go along. I am often on the receiving end of someone's rant and try to direct they in a positive way.

Does that mean I have a little bit of serving, teaching, and encouraging?
